second city syndrome

When a smaller city talks down on a larger city due to insecurity of its own size and/or having less culture, music, art, employment. Usually this happens between two cities that are relatively close to one another.

Some great West Coast examples are Portland and Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Ironically, the smaller city will always talk shit on the larger city, but the larger city will speak glowingly of the smaller one, often referring it to as "charming" or "cute". Often, larger city residents will visit the smaller city on weekend trips and mini-breaks while the smaller city will often have to come out of necessity- i.e. jobs or to see their favorite band play.

San Franciscan: God! I hate those superficial brainless L.A. types! The sun must absorb most of their brain cells because you can't have a single decent conversation down there! Oh, by the way, I have a few job interviews down there because I'm sick of living on unemployment in SF...No I don't have second city syndrome, that place just sucks

Angeleno: Oh my god! I totally went to Frisco and it was like awesome! It's so foggy and cute! And theres all these hills! Oh my god let's go again next weekend and have brunch! At that one place with those guys with all the tattoos! Soooo much fun!

Portlander: Seattle totally sucks! Its full of these corporate liberal hypocrites that are rude and fake...man. Whatever- no, I don't have 2nd city Syndrome. I keep it real in the streets...P-town for life, blood. (stupid handshake/and or tattoo revealing a "portland" icon)...Hey... we need to get tix to see Skrillex play next weekend...yeah, he's only playing in Seattle...

Seattelite: So Jenny and I went down to Portland the other weekend and had brunch at that great new place! What a nice city...we stayed at the co-op bed & breakfast too with the organic rose bushes...beautiful! Let's go down there again soon.

three second rule

The rule that says if you drop a piece of food on the floor it is ok to eat if you pick it up in three seconds. Usually the 'three seconds' is more like 10 but it is still the three second rule.

*accidentlly drops a chip*
"Three second rule!!"
*eats chip*

Seconds From Disaster

An average to decent band from San Diego, CA with obvious influences from Impending Doom and Sleeping Giant (and stolen riffs from For The Fallen Dreams), this band attracts local hardcore/scene kids that have horrible to average taste in music. Most of the fans are members from other local bands with the same amount of talent (little to none). The general sound of this band is low tuned guitars and muddy distortion with every song sounding the same.

The current members of the band are:
Jeremy - vocals (Has a huge ass)
Eddie - 'lead' guitar (Smells like tacos)
Evan - bass (Definitely jewish and awkwardly creepy)
Ian - guitar (Definitely hates the band and didn't write this what-so-ever)
Tony - drums (Better than the last drummer that we wont name)

Ex members:
Max - drums

-"What up, did you see that hella' buttery legit ass mutha fuckin show Seconds From Disaster played last night?"

-"Naw bro, I was raging with the homies but it's whatever though because they'll just play some shitty house show next weekend anyways"

-"Naw dude it's all about house shows!"

-"For sure."

second hand phone

Like second hand smoke, many of us may have been affected by this dangerous contaminant, for instance at the gym as you are attempting to go about your workout and all you seem to hear is the total annoyance of the cell phone conversation from the person next to you.
It's even worse when the person is on speaker phone.
Second hand phone at it's worst is when you can't even hear yourself think, the conversation engulfs your entire existence.

I was experiencing some serious second hand phone when all I could hear is every detail of my roommates cellphone conversation in the kitchen.

second-hand flirting

Using a friend (preferably the same gender) of someone you're interested in to get the information you want, i.e. sexual orientation, relationship status, social media.

I want to know if Jessica is seeing someone. How do I find out without being awkward or putting her on the spot if she is?

Try second-hand flirting bro. Ask her best friend Mackenzie; she'll know.
